Oral Answers to Questions

Manuela Perteghella Excerpts

Tuesday 30th July 2024 Commons Chamber

[Mr Lammy]

My hon. Friend has taken up these issues time and again in the House. Let me make it clear that the expansion we have seen this year is entirely unacceptable—it is more than the last 20 years combined. We are keeping these issues under review and, of course, I raised them with Prime Minister Netanyahu when I saw him in Israel.

[Manuela Perteghella (Stratford-on-Avon) (LD)]

T8. Will the Government commit to do whatever they can to urgently secure an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, get the hostages home, and re-establish as soon as possible a dedicated peace process to set us on the path to a two-state solution, as raised by many of my hon. Friends today, including my hon. Friend the Member for Oxford West and Abingdon (Layla Moran)?

[Mr Lammy]

I think the hon. Lady speaks for the whole House in the way that she put her comments, and I give her that undertaking.
